Mills

Aye some good scraps Hunter As you all may have guessed that was my first proper game of T2, the new patch is allowing me to play I think I'll stick to gameshop as much as possible now.........went to some dodgy UK server after and lameness was rife, not just newbies like me that didnt have a clue but some folks trying to shoot down their own teams vehicles as well......

You know people when you do find somebody, hold that woman, hold that
man, love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold, squeeze and
please that person, give 'em all your love, signify your feelings with
every gentle caress, because it's so important to have that special
somebody to hold, kiss, miss, squeeze, and please.

NARF!

Had my own fun mowing down vac twice(in row) in a shrike earlier in the games, who needs guns when you just make them go splat

i know i was like, guys set up defence and they all went sniping, wtf is it with sniping?? i though this was tribes not CS, still good games

kayos

Hmm this is what happens when ppl play to much CS they think that all they have to do is snipe

Hobbes

Sniping isn't all that good in T2 anymore. One shot never kills unless the person is badly wounded. Sniper gun has absolutly no effect on vehicles (but you guys keep shooting my ship if it makes you feel better )

Also you give your position away and it is now easier to take out a sniper either by air or land.

Sniper role is really more now for causing disruption+distraction then anything else. Kills aren't registered as your actual score so you could have 30 kills and still come up bottom on the scoring.

lol monty you ****, everytime i turned around monty was coming for me

Hunter px1

they could of at least mad it that a shot to the head on a light armor person would be a kill, then i would say yah snipe all you want, ffs you cant even take out gens with the weapon, while you energy is recharging so is teh shields on the gen, ehh anyhow i'll be on tonight at about 9-10

lol, what do you mean it is easier to take out snipers. In a number of games I settled into one of my usual T1 roles of sniping the defence from behind/beside, drew out a few defenders to let my offence in easily, and had no trouble killing my assailants. I think alot of ppl are still thick in this game, drop a few mins infront of ure sniping location and they run right over them. No-one thinks to circle around behind. Anyway a disclauncher and plasma gun make defending ureselg rather easy, and the energy pack means you can get a great height advantage, or run if you find yourself too outnumbered.

Still the number of snipers is laughable. It is funny to go off sniper hunting. I really wish there was a melee weapon for those humiation kills, because most of the time you can step up right behind them and just stand there and you know they are still zoomed in and clueless.

My favourite role is still defence. For 10 levels straight NOTHING got through my generator defence. It got a bit boring after a while ... I think I scared em all off

Its called a shocklance, you should stop O Sniping and try it out sometime


The thing that annoys me about sniping in t2 is the amount of damage it does to heavies. Its just plain stupid imho, heavies have been nerfed a lot
I think the rifle is still handy for LD if you got the ping for it.

Hobbes

yep Shocklance, the snipers nightmare.

Circle around the back of the sniper. While they are zoomed in on thier targets you hit them in the back with a shocklance and it's an instant kill, absolutly no defense. I think if you get a heavy from behind with it, it is close to or is an instant kill too.

The only downside to it is it needs a lot of energy to work, has to hit from behind for most damage. Btw two hits from a SL can take down a bomber (don't use it when your a tailgunner!)

btw, heavy in a shield pack is pretty much impervious to sniping.

btw, always assumed your flag is mined! ffs... I don't know how many of you guys ran over my mines. I get penalised 1 point for killing a team member so at a guess I would say I killed 8-9 of my own team because they walked over the mine and wounded a lot more.

Hate that map anyway. As for minotaur I joined in late, so it was a little frustrating to show up at our base with an INV and all the nme are there roasting marshmellows around the campfire and everyone else shouting "I'll go for the flag!"

I bought Tribes 2 yesterday and played it for the first time last night... you may have seen me on gameshop, I was the clueless muppet who didn't know what he was at, having not played tribes 1

OSiriS

I stand corrected ... must try that so, thx=]
